Martheaus Perkins: A Journey of Persistence, Passion, and Writing
Martheaus Perkins: A Journey of Persistence, Passion, and Writing
Martheaus Perkins is a 2020 Center High School graduate who turned his passion for writing into a promising career. After earning his Bachelor of Arts from Stephen F. Austin State University, he is now pursuing a Master’s in Creative Writing at George Mason University.
Martheaus faced challenges growing up, but his love for writing became both a refuge and a way to unlock new opportunities. In 2024, he achieved a significant milestone when his poetry collection, The Grace of Black Mothers, was accepted for publication—an accomplishment not often reached while still in school.
Martheaus' story is one of perseverance, passion, and a deep belief in the power of education to open doors. His journey proves that with dedication, anything is possible.
Martheaus Perkins' The Grace of Black Mothers brims with grace, nuance, and artistry, drawing a complex and bountiful Black world in the face of anti-Blackness and drawing upon the knowledge, wit, and wondrousness of Black mothers, ancestors, a boundless Black world.
